Did you add too much salt while cooking? Don’t add water, do this:

Sugar (very small amount): can counteract the excess salt in some sauces or stews.

A splash of vinegar or lemon juice: the acid balances the salty flavor in legume dishes, soups or meats.

Cream or milk: in soups or creamy sauces, dairy softens the impact of salt.

Raw rice wrapped in cheesecloth: it acts as a sponge to absorb salt, especially in broths.

 What you should NOT do:
Add too much water, because you will lose texture, flavor and concentration.

Covering up the mistake with more spices or fat only complicates the balance.

 Conclusion:
Cooking isn’t just about following recipes, it’s also about knowing how to fix mistakes! The next time you add too much salt, remember that a simple potato can be your savior.
